Hi folks, for what it's worth I have exactly the same issue. 2012 model (1 year old on the road) V7 Special with oil spattered over rear rim. 3750kms !!!
Can anyone say with confidence what the fix is? Because I bought second hand I'm worried they won't honour warranty and charge me 2 days labour for 5 mechanics plus lunches just to look at it!
I'd appreciate your feedback on this old thread. Cheers.
If you are within years/mileage the warranty should be honored no matter how many owners the bike has had.
